4 DRUGGIST'S MISTAKE.
Asiek Mans wife Disreaards The Druggists
Advice and So Saves the Lie Of
Her Husband.

I am n wood carver by trade and it is
out of my line to write letters; but my
wife thought it was no more than right
that should let you know what your
remedy has done for me, and think
so too.

Third avenue. and have lived there for
about twcnty-three years, where L own
real estate. Up to the time l am about
to mention had been a strong, well
man. There was always more or less
malaria in the ncighborhood, but had
not personally suffered from it. 1t was
in 1880 had my first attack. 1t came
on as such attacks commonly do, with
headaches, loss of appetite and ambi-
ton, chilly sensations with slight fever
afterwards, disposition to yawn and
stretch, and so forth. 1 was employed
at that time at Killians & Brothers,
furniture manufacturers, in West 32d
street. hoped the attack would wear
of, but rs it didn't consulted a we'll
known and able physician in Morris
ania, who gave me q mime and told me
what to do. / can sum up the first four
and half or five years of my expert
ence in few words. Occasionally
was laid up for a day or two, but on
the whole l stuck to my work. kept
taking quinine, in larger doses from
year to year, and kept on getting weak
CIR and worse, slowly but surely, all the
time. My trouble was nov well de-
fined and its symptoms were steady and
regular. had dumb ague in its worst
form, and it was grinding me down in

IRE in a burning coal mine. The poison
had gone all through and over me and
nothing was able to touch it l was

to die for al could tell. ran downso
rapidly that l soon became unable to
walk any distance. Later went from
room to room in my own house only by
friends holding me up by each arm. The
doses of qlIinine were increased until
often toOS thirty grains at Il dose. The
effects of this tremendous stimulation
was to make me nearly wild. Ii broke
my sleep all up. and often walked the
floor, or staggered about it, all night
long, scarcely able to bear any noises
or even human speech. My temper
was extremely irritable. As to food,
one of my little children would cat
more in a meal than l could in day.

it in disgust. l lived on qrinine and
other stimulants and on mySrIf. like q

If Gny60dy had taken a Ratchet and

During the latter part of this period,
early in 1886. my physician said:
"Miller, there's no use i'll my taking

any good. might pour pounds of quiz
nine down your throat and it wouldn't
help you"
On the strength of this gave up the
use of quininc altogether, and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
my chances.
Three weeks afterwards-about the
last of May-my wife saw an advertise

She told me of it / said: "Stuff and
nonsensci it can't do me any good"
But she went to Il druggists. ncverthe-
less, to get it The druggist advised
her against Kaskinc: he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
to throw away her money on t. &c.
He said he didn't keep it, b. =" I'D get
it if she insisted on havir 1t. Turn
